SEVERAL SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.

Look Out for impure Water-Typhold
Fever-DecompOsing Matter-Food.
All should look out for impure water.
Most country homes are supplied with water
from surface wells and springs; that is, wells
which are filled from the ground in their
vicinity The water falls upon the ground
Immediately around, and simply tI1ckIes
down through the soil and loose earth into
the we'll When surroundings are cleanly,
these wells usually contain pure water; other
wise they become filthy and dangerous. In
seasons of drought all such wells become low,
and the danger of Inlpurity l. increased many
fold The result is too often seen Ill the great
number of zymotic diseases in the country
fperhaps better called filth diseases In every
period of drought. The danger cannot be
exaggerated. The writer once examined the
water from a well and found seventeen grains
of organic matter to a gallon, when the limit
of safety is twol Typhoid fever is emphatic
ally a disease of the country in the fall, and
it comes because of danger in the we'll There
is no reason why, with the proper care, the
country should not be free from all these dlS-
eases Far too often the weary man OF affairs
leaves the city for a few days only to go to
some country resort where there Is no care TO
secure pure water, there to suffer from some
of these filth diseases.
Then, again, care must be taken to remove
material ALWAYS accumulates around dwell
ings These refuse heaps tester in the sun,
and they usually reveal their presence and
the danger fast enough through the odor.
But it is not always so. Sometimes there Is
inst moisture enough to triciIe down INTO the
ground and so poison the water, The gases
which arise from them are facilitating,
though not often directly deadly. But 1t Is
very easy t. remove them completely, for a
sa.,Ysf1 will
products of decomposition, and the danger Is
gone. Dry earth is the proper disinfectant
for country use, and it is always at hand
when most needed-in seasons of drought.
Then there is one more caution which APP
plies to city and country alike. 1t IS to avoid
all unhealthy food There is much fruit IN
the market which was good food once, but is
always on the point of decomposition Ere

by such changes, and danger turks III all de-

watched the look Of strange surprise
That came so swiftly to her eyes;
For mine were full of tears unshed-
But all the heavy se nee broke,
Were these the simple words she spoke:
THE children at play" she saids
heard the words as those who hear
The voice of mentor sent to cheer
Sad hearts that ask for rest instead
Again the silence full of gloom
Was broken in our dark ming room
The children are at play" she said.
I lifted up my eyes to see
The children playing merrily,
Then sadly turned away my head;
But heard again the sad refrain
AS though glad words were voiced in pain
The children are at play she said.
Children at play? at play? at play?
When hearts are breaking every day,
And life is woe, itself said.
Nothing in all the solemn earth
So mOcks at grief as children's mirth,N
How strange that they can play" she said,
when hearts that loved them, lips that kissed
Are ever and forever missed;
And all the words blend in One-Deadl
All children, you know not the word,
The saddest ever mortal heard
I'm glad that you can play she said.

The Boy that Watched the Pot.
Exchanged


In certain village in Maryland small
boy kicked up breeze IN the parish church
last Sunday. EU seems that a certain good
woman bought calls head and put it on to
boil, leaving her little boy to mind it while
she went to the church close by.
The minister had reached his filthy, my
brethren, when a small boy stuck his head
In the door and whispered:
Mammal"
The good woman recognized her son in
stantly, and began to make signs for him to
leave the door,
Mammal again came the whisper, this
time little louder than before
The mother shook her finger at the boy
warningly, and INDUCED in familiar panto-
mime with which she was accustomed to awe
her son. But it didn't work worth a cent.
The boy was excited and in dead earnest, as
the denouement will show. Raising his
voice he shouted:
Mamma, you needn't wink and blink at
me, but you'd better come right away, for
the calf'S head is buttin' all the dumplins out

Facts Concerning Boston Corbett.


The last that was heard of Boston Cor
bett he lived in Camden, n. j. He was q
very religious man, gaunt, opiniOnated
and ingenious. At CARROTS barn he
wanted to go in and fight Booth if he
would not give up. He thought it would
be the best way to avoid loss of life Once,
when quartered on Staten island, the sol
diers threatened riot on account of bad
rations. The officers discovered their in
tentiOns Just in time to prevent the out
break The men were drawn up in line,
a statement made to them of what had
been learned of their munity, and a call
was made by the commanding officer that
any man who had said that the rations
were poor and unfit for men to eat should
step forward For an instant not a man
moved. Then old Corbett strobe out
The men were frightened half to death,
and there was great commotion. When
the officer asked COrbett if he had made
the offensive remarks and excited dis
content among his fellow soldiers, he
said:
Eyes, said it I say so now. Hogs
wouldn't eat the stuff served to u.s. The
bread is rotten. / can prove it ("
For day or two the men thought old
Corbett was going to be shot But he
was given a chance to show the bread was
rotten; he did So and things were changed
for the better. In 1863 detachment was
made up from the various companies of
the Sixteenth New York cavalry to go

and four or five cartridges he had in his
pockets. Then he lay back and

months in Andersonville He had scurvy
when he rejoined his company, and was

allowed to go into service, and in a few
days went on the scout after Booth, to

Some time ago the Breslau oculist, DR.:
H. Cohn on examining the eyes OF
seventy five watchmakers, found that
scarcely . per cent of the number was
affected with shortsightedness, which
result seemed to Justify the belief that
the use of the loupe was an excellent pro
lection against myopia Quite recently
the same 0culist examined the eyes of fifty
watchmakers in Freiburg watch factory
who had for years, without using lOupe,
worked the fine parts of watches, and of
whom, nevertheless, only two were
slightly short-sighted-
From this DR.. Cohn concludes that
matchmaking is an industry not injurious
to the eye, while considering the fact that
his extensive examinations among stu
dents had established an average of 90 per
cent, among compositors of 81 per cent
and photographers of 81 per cent. afflicted
with myopia, he comes to the conclusion
that reading, writing, composing, and
drawing are more injurious to the eyes
than the constant exercise of the visual
organ in connection with fine stationary
objects

prevent crime. a man is hanged mol

to the prevention of the crime. The
carrying of certain weapons leads nat

that the gentleman failed to say just
how many men are in the pcnitentiary

how many are there from religious

prevent disease of the mind. but the
intention of laws generally is to pre-
